General Mach Discussion / Re: Pause button on 43.066 version...

« on: February 28, 2013, 04:53:52 AM »

Hi Guys,

The Pause function is intended to halt the program execution in a controlled manner in order to maintain ‘position’ (relationship between program position and machine position). If Pause was to occur immediately, within a program line, then it could and in most cases will cause loss of ‘position’ so would be useless if the work was to be continued from the point at which it was halted.

The Stop button (or EStop) will halt the program immediately (within a program line) but exact ‘position’ is then lost.

Just my opinion.

Hi Mike,

Try this...

If IsOutputActive(OUTPUT7) Then    'Check to see if its on
DeActivateSignal(OUTPUT7)             'Its on so turn it off
Else
ActivateSignal(OUTPUT7)                 'Its off so turn it on
End If

Hi Olebandit,

The Mach licence is called  Mach1Lic.dat  and it should be copy and pasted or dragged into the Mach3 folder.

Hi Guys,

I am really sorry, but I have agreed not to disclose any further details.    (This is the problem when an idea is sold but I just could not refuse the cash).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Tangential Cutting issue, need advise

« on: February 21, 2013, 03:00:24 AM »

Hi Jaydem,

My apologies if I am unable to describe it correctly. The lead-in / lead-out has the same radius as the circle being cut and is placed exactly over the path of the circle - this way there is no wastage and the cutter will be clear of the work surface before any rotation occurs.

Hi Jaydem,

The easiest solution with cutting holes is to create a lead-in /  lead-out (from the CAD/CAM program being used to create the tool-path) which has exactly the same radius as the hole being cut. This positions the cutter into the correct direction before it enters the work.
